Partnership Intelligence Form

Intelligence sharing process with Northumbria Police

The Police Partnership Intelligence form (Word doc, 113 KB)(opens new window) is the agreed method of contact with Force Intelligence at Northumbria Police. This form should be used to share any intelligence with the Force and will be received by our centralised Force Intelligence Management Unit (FIMU).

There are instructions on what can be sent to us on the form, but this cannot be used for reporting crimes.

Any forms that are reporting crimes will be sent back for it to be phoned in to 101.

Further information

The core hours of the mailbox are Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm. Between 4pm and 3am this mailbox is monitored intermittently. If your enquiry falls outside of these core hours and requires an immediate response please contact the Northumbria Police control room via 101.

All intelligence must be submitted using the 5x5x5 system.

Partner agency submissions

Any submission of information from a partner agency should contain as much information as possible but as a minimum must contain:

• full name
• date of birth
• location
• how this information is known and who else knows this information
• any risk ( known or perceived) to any person of this information is acted upon

• information about an incident that is happening now or is time critical
